STEPHEN KAUBLE, OF CLAY CITY, ILLINOIS.

PLOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 401,562, dated April 16, 1889'. Application filed January 16, 1889. Serial No. 296,488. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, STEPHEN KAUBLE, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Clay City, in the county of Clay and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Plows, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawlugs.

This invention pertains to certain new and useful improvements in plows; and it comprises the details of construction, combinati-on, and arrangement of parts, substantially as hereinafter fully set fort-l1.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view in perspective of my improved plow. Fig. 2 is a side elevation showing an interchangeable form thereof. Figs. 3 and 4 are detail perspective views.

Referring to the drawings, A designates the plow-beam, and a a the handles, the former being shorter than the latter, to which the rear end of said beam is connected.

B is a curved arm or standard projecting from the plow-beam, and provided with an apertured flange, I), (see dotted lines, Figs. 1 and 2,) to which and the short handle a is connected the mold-board 0, having a lower inclined edge, as shown.

D is the landside, provided with ears (Z d, through which nutted bolts (1 are passed for securing said landside to arm or standard B and to the lower end of handle a. To the forward end of landside D is rigidly secured or cast therewith a plow-point, E, having an upper inclined edge fitting snugly against the lower edge of the mold-board C. The plowpoint has an extended pointed end, e, as shown. Short ears or lugs e e are preferably secured to the under side of the moldboard and plow-point and project over their meeting edges, so as to aid in holding these parts together.

F is a cutter, preferably of steel, rigidly secured to or cast with plow-point E. Its forward cutting-edge is slightly curved, as shown.

It will be seen that the upper edge of the forward part of the landside fits snugly beneath the protruding edge of the mold-board, forming a tight and perfect joint at this point.

The plow as above constructed is designed especially for plowing sod, stubble, and Weeded ground.

In Figs. 2 and 4 I have shown a plowpoint, G, which I preferably employ for plowing in rooty ground, in lieu of the plow-point E. In this form of my invention the ears (1 of the landside are dispensed with, the nutted bolts being inserted through holes directly in the landside. landside is curved downwardly and forwardly, as shown, and to its upper surface is secured the plow-point, which is thus made to project some distance below the main portion of the landside. A colter, g, is secured to the plowbeam by means of pins or bolt-s g in such manner as to cause its point to curve toward and hang directly over the end of the plowpoint. A plow thus constructed will not permit roots to hang on its point, and will readily cut through rooty ground. This interchange or substitution of plow-points and landsides is readily accomplished by means of the bolt connection before described.

My invention is extremely simple, cheap, and durable, and the parts can be readily and easily removed when worn and new ones substituted.

I claim as my invention- As an improvement in plows, the landside having upwardly-projecting apertur'ed ears,

and the plow-point and cutter integral with or secured to said landside, in combination with the standard having a flange or seat, the mold-board, and the long and short handles, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

STEPHEN KAUBLE.
